I recently boarded an imperial heighliner to record this deep and twisting conversation with @wolftivy for @0xthestudents at his set on Giedi Prime, on the destiny of humanity in space and our relationship to a hypothetical AGI. Highly recommend watching all two hours! 7.8K views · 63 likes · 8 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Stop Waiting For AGI And Go To Space The long-awaited @mmjukic episode. We all expect AGI to colonize the stars because it's the obvious thing any healthy expanding system does naturally. So why aren't we doing so? Marko explains the elaborate cope keeping us on Earth. 0:00 — h 13.4K views · 47 likes · 15 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

There is no solution here that does not involve restarting industrial development—offering looters hard work that pays off *more* than looting is literally the bare minimum condition necessary to begin resolving this problem.

"We will simply stop mass immigration while protecting government jobs and generous benefits!" You may naively believe this, but the bureaucrats are cynical enough to think "Yeah, right." It's like saying "I will continue to allow you to rob me after I take away your gun." 3.4K views · 118 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Logically society must either burn itself down as quickly as possible or totally reform itself to leave no option for anyone but productive labor. This middle-ground of "moderate incrementally growing looting" is really the worst of all possible worlds in the long run. 3.6K views · 173 likes · 6 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

You would also burn down society rather than give up a fake email job that pays well with full benefits that is essentially guaranteed to you for life. 3.9K views · 170 likes · 4 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

The reason they want non-stop mass immigration is that everyone who isn't a recent immigrant wakes up one day and asks "Hey, wait a minute, why am I paying 60% in taxes to support all these bureaucrats who don't even deliver any public goods?" and that is, duh, a direct threat. 5K views · 260 likes · 14 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

AI skeptics are not scientifically rigorous enough. Here is a list of things AI might do that will kill us: open a portal to the multiverse, create new dimensions of reality, tap into The Shroud of Consciousness to merge all sentient life and enslave it to Tzafatt'q the Elder D— 4.6K views · 73 likes · 3 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

They aren't voting against their interests. People with fake email jobs in the government or protected by the government voting for mass immigration are voting FOR their interests. https://t.co/WUjY3pv6Id 11.5K views · 326 likes · 8 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

It's all just looting. All of it. Everybody wants an unaccountable fake email job with a high salary and no tangible metric of success. We halted industrial development so the incentives have all been pointed at gain of function in inventing fake jobs to loot industrial wealth. 178.2K views · 6K likes · 646 reposts · 58 replies Open on X →

A lesson the right needs to learn is that migrants voting for their interests is not a moral failure on the migrants part. You can't expect people to vote against their interests. Your target shouldn't be them but the non-migrants who *are* voting against their interests. 18.3K views · 169 likes · 12 reposts · 16 replies Open on X →

We now have evidence of how at least $7.7 billion for homelessness was spent on salaries. They created a jobs program that grows at the expense of the actual homeless who need help instead of helping the homeless. The waste is astounding. 🧵 247.9K views · 2.9K likes · 476 reposts · 67 replies Open on X →

I wonder how many childless and estranged-from-their-children Boomers the U.S. government subsidizes with social security and money-printing to sit in million-dollar houses all day watching cable TV and checking the windows to make sure no kids are playing outside. 6.2K views · 182 likes · 4 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

A fair defense of Boomers that raises the greatly understudied issue of the Greatest Generation's values and psychology. Actually I know one guy who has been studying it in detail. 9.1K views · 80 likes · 3 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

This is just shockingly bad behavior by the government involved. Nor is this an isolated incident.

Everyone, myself included, blames the Boomers for everything But I think we really need to start reassessing THEIR parents if we want to get to the root of the issue.

"Even if AGI didn't love us and care for us, and even if it didn't morally consider us, there would still be pockets of humans living in the woods and stuff" i doubt it, frankly here's an abbreviated list of things that an intelligence just a few pegs above us might do: https:/ 55.3K views · 265 likes · 28 reposts · 61 replies Open on X →
